Netanyahu's Purge.

The article argues that the current political and constitutional crisis in Israel is a direct result of the Zionist project itself, rather than simply the actions of Prime Minister Netanyahu. It posits that the crisis, revolving around judicial reforms and the power of the government, is a manifestation of inherent contradictions within Zionism. The author details the long-standing tension between the democratic principles of the state and the ethno-nationalist aspirations of Zionism, which seeks to prioritize the interests of Jewish people. This tension is further exacerbated by the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories and the discriminatory policies towards Palestinians, creating a system of apartheid. The proposed judicial reforms are seen as an attempt to consolidate power in the hands of the executive branch, weakening the judiciary's ability to protect minority rights and uphold democratic values. This move is driven by the desire to further entrench the Zionist agenda and suppress dissent. The article concludes that the crisis reveals the incompatibility of Zionism with genuine democracy and human rights, arguing that a truly democratic and egalitarian society in the region requires a fundamental re-evaluation of the Zionist project. The ongoing protests are a symptom of these fundamental tensions and the struggle for a just and equitable future. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/03/20/anwp-m20.html
